Don't use my computer to DDoS others please. That's nastier than the shallow post of that article.
eipi10_hn··on Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps
They will just call you the next days lmfao. There are countless news in my country that scammers hanging around on phone with the victims for some days before they do the deed. They are just switching from 1 long call to multiple reasonable calls because people naturally become more trusting the ones they talk more frequently and the scammers succeed more. That's exactly the words of a scammer when the police interrogating him at my place.

I want to use the apps that don't hellbent on your Google right away. This is MY phone. I paid my money. I don't want Google to dictate what I should do.

I won't comment about dl but ads are trackers and spyware for me. I don't spy on websites' owners, I have my human rights to stop those trackers.

Zuck serves ads/spywares to other users, he deserves to taste his own medicines, not me.

Many wired headphones have buttons and wheels too. We've been adjusting things via them for so long lol.

eipi10_hn··on Proton/SimpleLogin disabled my paid account for using my own email
That sounds horrible. I'm using proton unlimited and I've always wondered how can I backup my simplelogin to switch to other alias services.

Backup emails on main proton is not hard and wouldn't damage much, but I have different alias services for different sites on simplelogin and I would end up having to change emails on all those sites if simplelogin simply lock my account out of the blue.

eipi10_hn··on Simplenote is no longer in active development
Weird. Although I only used it briefly in the past, I remember the home page was not that bad. What happened to them?
eipi10_hn··on Firefox 148 Launches with AI Kill Switch Feature and More Enhancements
And Brave's built-in blocker uses uBO's and other lists, including allowing trusted filters (which can inject high risk scripts into your sites) automatically. So yes, you are using 3rd party scripts already, and no, they can't monitor all of the commits from all those lists.

Yeah it's unavoidable. Bypassing paywalls is not a good idea for tools that depend on browsers' stores distribution.

eipi10_hn··on FFmpeg dealing with a security researcher
Nope. Don't mistake a quick fix as they are "valuable" to the maintainers. They said clearly that it's a hobby project and at the most it just simply means that some volunteers were interested and wanted to fix it, or the fix is not complex, and I would just stop at that. The "valuable" is, again, an outsider view that is forced to the maintainers. Same as "They want google report" thing. Just because they fix some issues reported from someones doesn't mean that they view all of those reports being "valuable".

At most, I would just see that they are annoyed by the issue procedures (without PRs) of the "researchers" and they complaint on the social. I don't agree with their complaints because the "researchers" did nothing wrong either. And that's it, I would stop at that. Putting the whole "duty", "valuable reports" and "demand more" on them is just as bs as their complaints.

eipi10_hn··on FFmpeg dealing with a security researcher
Yes, that's right. Nobody has the duty to disclosure the security bugs. It's the security researchers' principles, and if they want to follow that, they can follow that.

But don't take it further that the maintainers have the duty to fix the issues. They choose that career, don't make it sound like ffmpeg is forcing them to disclosure. Maintainers don't "deal" with any security researchers about those, and don't put the confidence that it "benefits maintainers" than "benefit researchers", unless the maintainers declare that themselves. In this case there's no patch, no fix, no PR either, just issue-submission. "You have more benefits" are the claims of the researchers who think that their issue-submission contributions top everything else.

Finding and disclosing the security are issue-submission contributions, and that's it. Don't make it as a gift or something. ffmpeg doesn't have the need to find these issues, and they don't pay for it for it either. And vice versa, they have no duties to fix the issues. They don't force the security researchers to find and disclose things. If security researchers want to do it themselves, they can do whatever they want, but stop at forcing duties to the maintainers. The only thing I don't agree with ffmpeg is bringing those issues social while they can just ignore them, that's it.

eipi10_hn··on FFmpeg dealing with a security researcher
Duh no, wtf. No one has the duty to fix the security issue unless they are paid for the open source codes they give. They don't threaten you to use their codes either.

If you want the security issue to be fixed, make a PR or offer the price you are willing to pay for them to fix.

eipi10_hn··on What we talk about when we talk about sideloading
I think it's better to shut down the project. I used to contribute to privacy projects, but then after being slandered for damaging youtube's "creators" by blocking the trackers, I realize that people enjoy getting f*cked by google and enjoy shilling google collecting personal data. So I stopped, it's better for my mental health and I have more free time for myself.
eipi10_hn··on What we talk about when we talk about sideloading
Errors are according to you. According to me, they are not errors.
eipi10_hn··on What we talk about when we talk about sideloading
I'm using Android built-in Package Installer. That's not non-standard.
eipi10_hn··on Firefox is the best mobile browser
"Custom scriptlets" are not random words. They are capabilities of multiple blockers on MV2.

I want to interfere websites' javascripts to block the ads that are not addressed by the extensions without the need to write whole userscripts. For example, stopping/replacing an inline script, pruning the ads/annoyances out of the JSONs, replacing the arguments of a native function, setting the constants of global variables to any values I want, preventing `setTimeout`, `setInterval`, `eval`, removing event listeners on the elements I want, removing/replacing/setting the attributes' values of the elements I want... and the list goes on. I can do these with uBO.

I want to strip out/replace the fingerprinted JSON data in the request headers of the XHR/fetch requests. I can do this with uBO.

I want to block YouTube from delivering bs AI dub audio by default to me. I can do this with uBO.

I want to not let the websites go through the trackers before redirecting to the destination link if the destination link already appears in the URL. I can do this with uBO.

I want to strip out any tracking parameters of a URL that I want without the need to wait for the extension to approve and update for me. I can do this with uBO.

I want to block and redirect the resources to the neutralized resources built inside uBO, or redirect to any other domains/URLs that I want without the need to report and wait for the extension to approve and update for me. I can do this with uBO.

I want to set the iframes not load by default and just put a placeholder which I can choose which one I want to load by clicking on it. I can do this with uBO.

I want to by default block 3rd-party resources (`script`, `iframe`, `images`, `xhr`...) and only whitelist which domains/URLs I trust locally/globally via simple clicking/tapping. I can do this with uBO.

I want to set the websites to `noscript` mode by default and only set the websites I want to run javascript by myself. I can do this with uBO.

The key here is "custom". It's about how free I am to block things ("things" on websites are not just elements to hide or network requests to block) on the websites for myself with the extension, not reporting and hoping the extension to approve and update for me; and not bother to write my own extensions or userscripts.

Custom scriptlet.

> I have a gut feeling

No, it's not. They use the same lists as uBO's. There's literally nothing called "blends in better" here, and there's no definition and proof of it either.

Yes, Basic can still block the connection requests without any permissions.

There is. If you are using uBO Lite, enable the "uBlock test filters" list, wait a bit and click on the home page button at the right. It will lead to https://ublockorigin.github.io/uBOL-home/tests/test-filters....
